GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WTXL) — Florida State women’s basketball suffered a tough loss on the road to rival Florida this afternoon in Gainesville. The Noles never were able to settle into any sort of rhythm in their 69-55 loss.
After the game head coach Sue Semrau was emotional following a conversation with the parents of her former player Alicia Gladden. Gladden was killed in a car accident back in 2013. Her impact still has a profound place in Semrau’s program and her heart. That special connection between the two was on display in her post-game press conference.
“Just saw Alicia Gladden’s parents and she was a part of the team that came down here and beat these guys for the first time," says Semrau. "We lost her in a car accident a few years back and it really just puts this into perspective what this is all about. We played in an embarrassing fashion today.”
